Thoughts for the Scholars of Consciousness
This site offers meditations on topics relevant to all aspects of consciousness, whether that be research on or the experience of a sentient psyche. These are thoughts for the scholars of consciousness, who stride beyond the frontiers of the consensual and return with a wisdom and knowledge suited for any who wish to enhance the conditions of their life.
The author seeks to perform a multi-disciplinary meta-analysis of the existing works of man and to survey the unfamiliar territory of the interior life in the interest of articulation and service so that all may benefit from a deeper understanding of the predicament of consciousness.
Themes of the Exploration

- Spirituality – The individual’s attempt to reconcile the relativities of existence.
- Mythology – The stories we tell and live by which guide us through the personal unknown.
- Societal Concerns - The physical and mental framework developed by society and its impact upon its people.
- Philosophy – The psychologies, sciences, and metaphysical attempts at unraveling the mysteries of reality.
- Theoretics – The speculative strangeness of the mind and the material.
- Psychedelia – The mind-moving tools of consciousness exploration and the resulting effects and findings.
